I know we have a lot of military former and active guys on the board. I just wanted to say if you need someone to talk to make sure you do. If you havent talked to one of your battle buddies in awhile, please reach out to them. A call, text or even email could make a difference.

If you need help, you can call 1-800-273-8255

We almost lost one today. He was very lucky to have a wide group of friends and family who helped and jumped into action quickly. It tears at me every time I hear of a friend, family, or old battle buddies who chose the permanent solution to their demons. I implore you to seek help.

We are brother/sisters in arm and need to continue to look after each other even after we step away from our uniform.

So, lets grab a beer and fish.
